# createStoresWorkflow - Medusa Core Workflows Reference

This documentation provides a reference to the `createStoresWorkflow`. It belongs to the `@medusajs/medusa/core-flows` package.

This workflow creates one or more stores. By default, Medusa uses a single store. This is useful
if you're building a multi-tenant application or a marketplace where each tenant has its own store.

You can use this workflow within your customizations or your own custom workflows, allowing you to
create stores within your custom flows.

[Source code](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/blob/38cddd189b5b59cb3213757d1b9c42405899c224/packages/core/core-flows/src/store/workflows/create-stores.ts#L54)

## Examples

### API Route

```ts title="src/api/workflow/route.ts"
import type {
  MedusaRequest,
  MedusaResponse,
} from "@medusajs/framework/http"
import { createStoresWorkflow } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"

export async function POST(
  req: MedusaRequest,
  res: MedusaResponse
) {
  const { result } = await createStoresWorkflow(req.scope)
    .run({
      input: {
        stores: [{
          name: "Acme",
          supported_currencies: [{
            currency_code: "usd",
            is_default: true
          }]
        }]
      }
    })

  res.send(result)
}
```

### Subscriber

```ts title="src/subscribers/order-placed.ts"
import {
  type SubscriberConfig,
  type SubscriberArgs,
} from "@medusajs/framework"
import { createStoresWorkflow } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"

export default async function handleOrderPlaced({
  event: { data },
  container,
}: SubscriberArgs < { id: string } > ) {
  const { result } = await createStoresWorkflow(container)
    .run({
      input: {
        stores: [{
          name: "Acme",
          supported_currencies: [{
            currency_code: "usd",
            is_default: true
          }]
        }]
      }
    })

  console.log(result)
}

export const config: SubscriberConfig = {
  event: "order.placed",
}
```

### Scheduled Job

```ts title="src/jobs/message-daily.ts"
import { MedusaContainer } from "@medusajs/framework/types"
import { createStoresWorkflow } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"

export default async function myCustomJob(
  container: MedusaContainer
) {
  const { result } = await createStoresWorkflow(container)
    .run({
      input: {
        stores: [{
          name: "Acme",
          supported_currencies: [{

  console.log(result)
}

export const config = {
  name: "run-once-a-day",
  schedule: "0 0 * * *",
}
```

### Another Workflow

  () => {
    const result = createStoresWorkflow
      .runAsStep({
        input: {
          stores: [{
            name: "Acme",
            supported_currencies: [{
              currency_code: "usd",
